Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
If my husband dies before me, does his child automatically receive his half of the house.
2 Answers from Attorneys
Not unless his will directs that his child take half of the house.
If the home is community property, then it will pass to you unless there is a writing (will and/or trust) directing otherwise.
